In the small hamlet of Torrington, situated on 1st Street is the world-famous Gopher Hole Museum.
What is the Gopher Hole Museum?
Started in 1996, when they set up permanent residence, the Gopher Hole Museum has been delighting visitors with their anthropomorphic, mostly Albertan, dioramas.
Open Farm Days is an annual favourite for many connecting Albertans to their food sources: farmers.
